535 Carlton Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The 19-story multi-family residential building at 535 Carlton Avenue in Prospect Heights, owned by Wesley Wilson, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since its completion in 2015. Most notably, between May and June 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding door-related issues, with at least one resulting in housing violations, and two inspections unable to be completed.

There were also multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building in May 2025, though some complaints were marked as duplicates. The building has an active Environmental Control Board violation from October 2024 regarding an improperly painted sprinkler system in the parking garage, with a $3,125 penalty, and an open violation from August 2023 concerning missing electrical outlet safety caps in public hall walls. The property has documented recurring problems with heat and hot water systems, as evidenced by multiple emergency service requests in 2025 and violations in 2023.

Additional maintenance concerns have included doors in need of repairs (multiple violations and complaints), an active mold issue in apartment 1802 identified in March 2023, and historical occupancy-related violations between 2019-2021 regarding Certificate of Occupancy compliance. The building has also struggled with pest control, as indicated by a pest-related complaint in May 2025 and previous bedbug reports showing infestations in 2019 and 2024, though recent rodent inspection results from 2023 indicate compliance. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained regular inspections, with rodent inspections showing consistent passing results since 2015, and some previous violations have been resolved, including plumbing issues and various administrative code compliance matters.
